TYPY CHEMICZNE SZCZAW W KARPATACH FLISZOWYCH A WIEK WODY

Abstract

CHEMICAL FACIES OF CO2-RICH WATERS IN THE FLYSCH CARPATHIANS VERSUS WATER AGEAbstract. Chemical composition and total dissolved solids (TDS) of CO2-rich waters in the western part of the Polish Carpathians depend strongly on the age of water. Modern waters are of the HCO3–Ca type with TDS usually below 3 g/l, whereas glacial age waters are of different types with increased contents of Mg2+,Mg2+ and Na+, or Na+ and Mg2+, with TDS content significantly above 3 g/l. The relationships observed may serve for a better identification of ages and mixing patterns between waters of significantly different ages.
